TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is anxious about applying for a visa in Hanoi and is seeking tips on important considerations for the application process. Several comments provide reassurance and advise on necessary preparations, such as ensuring all documents are ready and highlighting details about the embassy's operation days. The user mentions they have prepared a letter detailing their finances for the application, which includes six months of bank statements and a plan to enroll in Muay Thai classes.

Kiii345 according to their website they are only closed on the 12th but inside Thailand both 11th and 12th are holidays. At worst it just means an extra couple of days processing time

It's very sad...the waiting days

Kiii345 Just submit straight away anyway. I have seen people here receive approvals out of office hours, including weekends so I think some level of processing might be ongoing, even out of office hours. I got mine in Hanoi in 10 days but that included one request for further documents and a weekend. Enjoy a beer by a lake at sunset. Good luck!

The embassy and all Thai government offices are closed; no embassy officers will review any applications.

What additional documents they asked and was this after status change to 'Pending approval'? And how long after you uploaded the documents did you get the visa? Thanks

I have already provided one page of personal information when applying. Do I need to provide all pages?

I've looked it up. I've prepared all the documents. I've also prepared a letter explaining my finances, including six months of monthly statements. Six months is enough money. Applying for Muay Thai classes should be enough.

I think there is no problem, but the result is hard to estimate
